Youreka Extreme Har Ki Dun

Dear Parent,

Your Child is Safe with us. No News is good news because we will call you if there is an issue. So plan your own holidays and enjoy your time out from kids while we take care of them. If you must know what's happening at camp, please click on the campus name for your child's camp on the right side and read the update here.

Please note:

Updates are posted once a day around 2:00 pm.

Photos are posted only when the kids return from camp as there is only intermittent internet connectivity at our wilderness sites and we like to keep it that way.

Photos will be posted on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/Youreka once the child returns

We do not allow talking to the child while on camp. You may call our Delhi office at 011-40801100 or 1800-1033301 to inquire.

In case of Emergency only, please call 8130941100. This number is answered between 8pm and 11pm.

YEH Program Update

13 June 2018

YEH - Day 6
The kids are doing fine & happy with the successful completion of their expedition. They reached Sankri yesterday & we finally got in touch with them this morning. We hope you received our sms update this morning. The group left Sankri at 9am for their homeward journey. We hope you will listen to their stories & continue their regular exposure to nature & the outdoors. Research shows that nature is essential for the physical, emotional & mental well being of the children; apart from that, research is also showing that free play in the outdoors is very important in building life skills like problem solving, interpersonal relationships & conflict resolution.

The group reached Osla yesterday safely. They had tea & snacks & pitched their tents while dinner was cooked for them. This morning, they wound up camp, had breakfast & started for har-ki-dun They are expected to reach there by 3pm. Kids are all doing fine. As connectivity is low, we are getting short updates.

YEH - Day 2
Kids reached safe & sound yesterday at 5pm. The internet connectivity is low at base camp & will get worse as they climb higher. Weather is clear. This morning, kids packed up & left camp for their journey. They went to Taluka in vahicles & then started their trek. They aim to reach Osla at 4pm today.

I have sent my daughter almost every year to a Youreka camp since she was age 9. So this was her 6th camp. She has gone to different locations and I have always been very happy about the arrangements and activities we chose. In this day and age of gadgets and distractions, Youreka is like a breath of fresh air. So many life skills and survival skills are taught. I personally have Youreka to thank for how she has shaped up as a person. Learnt to be independent and open to adventures. Three cheers!

New Story Everyday!

It is almost 4 months now since my daughter attended the J4 2016 at Youreka as a White Star participant. Till today hardly a day goes by without some new story from camp suddenly remembered, or some moment relived!

Went to a Youreka camp 17yrs ago...

I went to a Youreka camp about 17 yrs ago -- and I still remember it as the most positive and fascinating experience of my life at the time. I have camped in other places and countries since -- but heck, I miss the experience which Youreka provided when I was a kid.

New level of enthusiasm and confidence!

It gives me immense pleasure to share that the class 11 camp to Kambre has had a different impact on our students and educators. The students have thoroughly enjoyed all the activities they were exposed too. They also shared the interactive sessions which were handled by your team. The exposure provided to them has lifted them to a whole new level of enthusiasm, energy, confidence and attitude.

I found her different, changed and very confident

When I received Meher at the railway station on the 20th of June, I found a different, changed and very confident Meher. There was something different about the way she was carrying herself. Her body language had changed. This very Meher who was so scared of dogs before she went for this trip, was actually getting a stray dog to smell her hand so as to get friendly with it. it took her 3, 4 days to get over the disappointment of coming back from the camp. She has shared so much with us and wants to go back every year. We as parents are very happy and thrilled and wish to thank everybody in The team Youreka for fantabulous work they do.
Thanks once again.
